SOLVED: (adding the solution to help others.) Problem was in the mouse. Brought new mice and the problem disappeared.
----
using w8 for last 3 years. PS/2 3D Optical Mouse was previously working well ever since.
recently I bought a new mouse exactly of the same kind, just from a different vendor (QHMPL - QMP-220)
Ever since, the mouse stops responding at all at random intervals.
I wasted hours figuring it out and found that I don't need to sign out or reboot or whatever,
I just need to unplug and replug the mouse in the PS/2 socket,
and then it starts working.
I have not installed any driver for it, nor did the vendor provided any. It just uses whatever MS has provided as default.
Several sites are mentioning several people facing similar problem, but none that I visited could provide a solution.
My Keyboard is also PS/2, and is working well ever since, though people have reported same problem with their kbd also.
What could be the mouse problem and please suggest solution for it.
Thanks.
